A few months ago, I built a tool to generate fake data based on a JSON payload(fakeapi). FakeAPI worked fine, but a major downside was that a JSON payload must be sent as a post request to receive data. This is not good for someone emulating any other HTTP methods.

So I decided to build Phoney. Phoney is a mock API generator that lets you create apps to manage endpoints. Features of phoney:

  • Create apps to manage your endpoints
  • Create endpoints that return data in a custom format
  • Default API key authentication support
  • All methods, GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE, supported.
  • Dynamic endpoints supported
  • Swagger UI for each endpoint. It makes testing easy.
  • Built-in JSON editor for creating endpoint schema
  • Supported response codes, 200, 201, and 202
  • Syntax highlighting for JSON schema
  • Light/Dark theme switch

Phoney is built with Django. Also, this is my first ever Django app

    Sounds awesome. The site is taking a bit of time to load. Is it a heroku app?
